World class track racers around the world run Vittoria's track tubulars for three reasons. First, the casing and construction techniques used by the company are as perfectly round as is possible. Second, the transition to the the valve is minimal, allowing for the smoothest rolling track tires on the market. Third, the tread rubber and patterns used are perfectly suited to the tire/event designs. On the track, every aspect of the tire must convert to speed, rider confidence, grip, and more speed.

On the boards, with a tubular tire at very high pressures, every inconsistency in the surface, tire and rim is felt by the rider. A tire with an incredibly supple casing, even at high pressure, can help mitigate those challenges. The Pista EVO CS features the Corespun 320 tpi casing that Vittoria's best tubulars all rely on. The finely woven minute strands of cotton are spun into larger yarns, which create the actual casing with the highest attention to detail for a perfectly round structure. This is Corespun technology, and it has proven itself in the pro peloton, and track World and Olympic competition. A quick tire check at top international competitions confirms rider trust in Vittoria.

Over the casing, the Kevlar SiO2 3D tread rubber employs a natural rubber infused with silica for amazing traction and grip, even when moisture or dust are present. This compound also exhibits a very low rolling resistance to maximize speed by reducing friction at the point of contact. The Pists EVO CS carries a fine diamond tread that is perfect for wood indoor track surfaces for both training and racing, and is very effective for racing on indoor or outdoor concrete tracks. The rider does not feel the tread, but knows it is working to hold the best lines and maintain speed at all times. One note for concrete track use. The extreme light weight of this tire means less overall mileage and protection. We recommend a competition-only use on concrete. The standard Pista CS is better equipped to handle training on these harsher surfaces, and employs the same tread pattern, so transitioning to the EVO CS for racing is smooth.

The Pista EVO CS in the 700x22 size comes in at a mere 160 grams and can be inflated to 215 psi. This is an all-out track racing tire designed for speed and all-surface confidence. If you are a serious track rider who is looking for the gold standard of track tires, just count the medals of Vittoria riders, clean up your rims, and get your Mastik One ready. This is your competition tire.
